Biden is headed to Greenwich, CT, to raise a little money.
The host committee for Biden's June 3rd Fundraiser is packed full of heavy hitters, including Governor Ned Lamont and his wife with the golden touch, Annie; Congressman Jim Himes; Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz, former Senator Chris Dodd, hedge fund legend Steve Mandel (who previously hosted a Biden fundraiser), tv producer Shonda Rhimes, and of course former CEO of HBO Richard Plepler, who is rumored to be hosting the event.
News 8 is reporting that the $3,300 general admission tickets are sold out.
Governor Lamont even boasted to the CT insider: "We've got to restrict the number of people who can be there because of the appetite of people to be there."
“This one is a premiere event,” Senator Richard "Danang Dick" Blumenthal told the Courant in an interview. “It’s going to be a major push to raise money from a state that really appreciates what Joe Biden has done in these last four years for roads and bridges, health care, education, and major amounts of resources that have come to Connecticut, but also his contributions to foreign policy and across the board.”
The last time Biden came to Greenwich in the summer of 2023, Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo lamented over how the town got stuck footing the bill for extra security.
Wonder if that will happen again?
Meanwhile, the Hartford Courant reports that: "Some Democrats have been stunned that the race is tight after Trump has been impeached twice and indicted four times on felony charges in New York, Florida, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. Closing arguments were held Tuesday in Manhattan in Trump’s hush money trial, where he is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records."
This includes Blumenthal, who said he was "bewildered" by Trump's popularity, which is rising everywhere, even in deep blue Connecticut.
